The bottle has the Clinique Happy logo printed at the top near the lid so if, like me, you chuck out the boxes you will still have a vague idea what you might be smelling of!

The bottle itself is a fairly simple affair, which personally I prefer. Its an oval shape, easy to hold on to when applying so avoiding the dreaded perfume-in-all-the-wrong-places moment (dont ask me about that one!) and see-through so you know exactly how much there is to go before you need to flutter some eye lashes and get some more bought for you. Or in my case trudge down to the shops and spend yet more of my hard earned cash!

On to the important part... how does it smell? Now I avoid the strong smelling heavy floral fragrances like the plague, it just doesnt suit me, so this isnt one of those. It is a very light smell, a cross between citrus and floral. The people at clinique say its 'A chic, modern, multi-layered sparkling floral.' It includes Ruby Red Grapefruit, Boysenberry Bush Flower, and Hawaiian Wedding Flower and smells delicious. It reminds me of summer, it's light and floral but not too girlie. It doesnt get up your nose - most perfume makes me sneeze- and is great for everyday wear.
My only criticism is that it doesn't last all that long.. or maybe I don't use enough... but I do find that it needs to be reapplied at regular intervals to keep that gorgeous smell.
**HOW MUCH??** It comes in two sizes, 50ml and 100ml. The 50ml costs £29.50 and the 100ml is £42.50. Personally I think this is pretty good value for a decent perfume, I have the 50ml and its lasted for ages (not just because I left it in the drawer!) and I will be buying it again.
They also do a male version of the perfume, a 'Body Smoother', a Body Wash and a Body Cream in the Happy range.
**THE VERDICT** Brilliant everyday fragrance, not overpowering and worth the money. If you want any more info check out the website at www.clinique.co.uk Well recommended.
...gift box, it was a Clinique gift box and the perfume contained inside was ‘happy’. This scent is just lovely and fresh. It’s got this fruity, floral vibe to it and I have to say along with ‘Ralph’ it’s my favourite perfume. Ever since I received it last year I have continued to use Happy as it is just one of my favourite scents ever. I am quite picky with my scents; I always want a scent to describe me. I think happy describes me well, cause I’m ... ...the side tabs it says Clinique but doesn’t say it on the front of the box. I think this makes it look more sophisticated. On the back of the box is all of the usual information such as the ingredients, sizes and company address. Normally though, when you buy the perfume on its own it comes in a long bright orange box, which suits the perfume a lot. ~~THE GIFT BAG~~
Inside the gift box was a lovely transparent orange travel bag. It is shaped, as ...

Advantages: Light, fresh fragrance suitable for everyday use, reasonably long-lasting Disadvantages: I find I need to use a few squirts therefore using it up quickly
...and body wash available, and Clinique offer a couple more perfumes in the "Happy" family, so be careful to choose the right one. For me, Happy is definitely my favourite of the lot. But most importantly...does wearing it make me happy? YES! It's well documented that citrus scents are good for giving you an energy boost and elevated mood, and happy does make me feel good. If only for the fact that I like smelling nice! I'd recommend Happy as a good ...

Advantages: A lovely light citrusy/floral scent... Disadvantages: Liberal spray...
Clinique Happy has been on the market for many years now and up until the very recent launch of the new Happy Heart fragrance, Happy was one of a measly two fragrances for women available over the green and white, clinical-looking Clinique counters that you can find in just about any department store you care to enter.
I used to travel frequently to New York and got to know the perfume counters at Gatwick, Heathrow and JFK like the proverbial (and ... ...never find anything to beat Clinique Happy.
* The Bottle
Happy comes in both a 50 ml and 100ml spray bottle which is curiously simple in design – it is a tall glass bottle with a silver cap and the orange “Happy” logo near the top. Just like that picture at the top of this opinion in fact.
* The Smell
This is most certainly a daytime perfume and, on me at least, smells lightly floral/citrusy, but without being too “girly” like the awful Anais ...

Advantages: It makes you feel happy when you spray it on Disadvantages: The smell does not last very long!
...morning I first came across Clinique Happy. Oh, what a happy day. The very next day I went straight out to purchase a bottle for myself. Let me explain why...(this is my first perfume op, so I hope I am able to express the experience clearly for everyone).
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
Well, since you ask, I have the 50ml size and it comes in a tall slimline glass bottle with a silver cap. Clinique happy is printed across the top, near the cap, clinique ... ...take a little tube of Clinique Happy lotion which I have since bought to use as a top up. It's such a light, free, airy essence that it seems to disappear far too quickly. I don't apply this perfume before I go to work because by the time I've reached the office I can't smell it anymore, and I like to smell my perfume during the work day, so as to give myself an olfactory boost!
ANY DUBIOUS AFTER-EFFECTS?
I have unfortunately quite sensitive skin. ...

Advantages: Beautiful fresh smell, perfect for everyday use Disadvantages: Less staying power than some perfumes
...was first introduced to this clinique fragrance when my boyfriend gave it me as a Valentines gift a couple of years ago and have used it ever since. In my opinion it is the perfect everyday perfume as the smell is fresh, crisp and flowery without being overpowering.
Clinique describe this product as being: "a hint of citrus, a wealth of flowers and a mix of emotions". Beautifully put and very apt for this scent. Clinique go on to say that this perfume ... ...and Hawaian wedding flower. Clinique claim these scents have never been used together before in a perfume which would account for the truly distinctive, orginal smell of Happy.
The Happy range is presented well in a bright orange box with a small, stylish label of Clinique happy towards the top. The box looks stylish and should appeal to a wide audience. The perfeume itself comes in a tall, slender bottle - again plain with the small, stylish clinique ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Clinique Happy"
This morning before we went out on our Great Pre-Christmas Shopping Expedition I decided to don some of my dwindling supply of CliniqueHappy for Men, Cologne Spray. It costs about £22.00 or so and is worth every little spray. The bottle of CliniqueHappy for Men, Cologne Spray is 3.4 fl or 10ml in new money.
It comes in a nice glass container. The container is transparent but is not clear. It is a nice orange colour which seems to be the colour for CliniqueHappy for Men Cologne Spray.
It is made in America which means that before it arrived in the local branch of Debenhams. In fact, my bottle of CliniqueHappy for Men Cologne Spray is better travelled than I am!
The spray bottle is environmentally friendly, as it is a pump action spray, rather than bring powered by a CFC gas or butane. (Using lighter gas has always seemed ...
Advantages: Smells gorgeous, fairly cheap, long lasting. Disadvantages: Foul bottle, stings like a bitch when applied.
Happy by Clinique came into my waning collection of aftershaves as a gift earlier in the year. It was one of those fragrances my girlfriend loved the smell of and ultimately was wrapped and thrust into my hand! Coming in an orange card box, the bottle (as seen above) looks horrid! Oval in shape, the overall first impression was "eurgh" but the looks were indeed deceiving.
On removing the lid I was greeted with a fruity citrus aroma that reminded me more of a bowl of oranges (hence the colour of the bottle I'd say) and upon inspecting the notes, this is marketed as a refreshing masculine scent made from a blend of lemons, mandarins, oranges and grapefruit and is recommended for day wear around the office.
Taking the blend of ingredients into account it wasn't surprising that my first impression of the fragrance was one of a very ...
Advantages: soft, sweet scent. It long lasting for the whole day long! Disadvantages: I feel dizzy (the scent will be so hard) if I spray a bit extra.
I was fascinated by the aroma of this perfume when my friend used it as her daily perfume. In the next one month I went to City Square Plaza and saw the the CliniqueHappy Heart perfume package. It was bundle with the body cream lotion. I bought the package although it cost me for a bit expensive (RM 300 = almost USD 100).
As I mentioned the price is a bit expensive since it costs me for almost USD 100.Well, I could get such better price if I buy it online. But I must give my most honest opinion on it. It worth enough for my money!
Now let me share the experience of being with this perfume. The fragrance is extremely soft floral sweet. It blends to my body very well. The small amount of spray could be lasting for the whole day long. Besides, the scent will be long lasting for days at my scarfs and my shirts.
Thus I could not finish ...
